Power and Cooling for the New Digital Hospital

Medical Imaging and Diagnostic Equipment (MIDE) is increasingly being networked to Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS), Radiology Information Systems (RIS), and Hospital Information Systems (HIS). Information is connected to the hospital intranet as well as the Internet. Failing to implement the necessary Network-Critical Physical Infrastructure (NCPI) can result in unexpected downtime, and safety and compliance issues, which translates into lost revenue and exposure to litigation, negatively affecting the bottom line and reputation of the healthcare provider. This course explains how to plan for NCPI when deploying medical imaging and diagnostic equipment, with an emphasis on power and cooling.
